Hows the pre op diets going?



Recommended Posts

How's everyone who is on the pre op diet going? I am on day 6 and haven't cheated once! I have honestly surprised myself. I even took the kids to McDonals for dinner tonight and didn't even eat one chip.

Im having Optifast shakes and bars less than 800 cals a day. I have been having one tea spoon of margarine with garlic and frying zucchini, Tomato and eggplant for dinner.

I have lost 4.3 kg so far or 9.4lbs :)

Hope everyone else is doing well too.

Doing well. I've cheated once... I had a bite of a hot dog (no bun, just a small bite of hot dog my son left on plate). I'm down 7 pounds after my first week. Pretty pumped up. Congrats on your progress. That's awesome!

Its going better... i drink two shakes during the day and have sugar free Jello if i feel the need to eat...then dinner is salad usually.. im doing good..lost 10 pounds in 5 days..havent weighed since...trying to stay off the scale and not obsess over numbers..i find i am not that hungry very much... i do cheat on purpose..at the end of a 7 day stretch of eating on plan...i allow one meal thats off plan( however its due to the face that im expected by my pcp to be on a diet for over a month and two weeks prior to surgery) When i get down to 14 days prior to surgery...then its strictly no cheating on anything..but until then..i can survive 7 days of dieting followed by one meal of my choice amd then back to the diet again

I'm doing well on the food part which is shakes and veg Soup. Not as great on weight loss. Lost 6 lbs and then haven't lost anything in 6 days :(. But I haven't cheated despite out of town trips, wedding receptions, and other challenges so I can be happy about that.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
